Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography – Walking around the park Part 2
There was a large tree behind me casting a big shadow on the grassy field. You can see its branch structure shadows in the grass its so massive. The grass was dormant at the time but still had a unique look to it with my filter. The clouds were patchy and leaving the area, as a rainstorm passed through a few hours before. And the walking path was still wet from the recent rains.

There were a few Pines with their needles and they stood out. Pines are the only evergreens I usually see that are real tall. And in these photos they are getting the morning sun before everything else.
The trees and bushes that line the walking path were dormant as well. Many that do not live in areas that freeze think they are dead. I thought so too at one point but they are waiting for some warm weather to wake them up.
Lining the park was a fence, and I found it funny you could see under one part of it. Revealing the cobalt blue ultraviolet sky. And the bare tree with all its branches making interesting patterns in front of the sky.

I take pictures with a special camera. Its a Mirrorless DSLR that has been modified by Life Pixel to see light in other wavelengths. This allows my camera to see light in the Infrared [IR] around 1300 NM wavelength, through the visual spectrum and into the Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths roughly into the 300 NM wavelength.
I carry many filters on me to make the photos you see in my blog, these filters screw on my lens and help me isolate certain wavelengths for certain scenes. These filters can be IR / UV pass-through filters to assist me get a natural photo taking out the UV and IR light. Or I may use a Infrared pass-through filter capture just IR light. I can do the same with UV light as well, though I need some better filters which they can cost a few hundred dollars for true Ultraviolet pass through filters. So for right now I have B + W 403 bandpass filters that still allow some IR light in, due to their cheaper material.
There are also exotic glasses made of sapphire and germanium I am open to working with to replace my silica glass hot mirror with a material that allows even longer wavelengths of infrared to enter my cameras sensor. Special sensors, lenses and filters of that material would be needed as well, so it would be a big project but one that may give some even more unique photography results.
